    "content": "This Motion is very timely. This should not be a matter that should be taken for granted. I remember that previous governments even tried to buy land - I do not know whether it was in Mavoko - where we were taken round in circles. As much as we say we want to leave this matter to the Nairobi City County, the Nairobi City County cannot handle it. Now that Hon. Jalang’o has brought this matter to the House, it is important that we support him because Nairobi belongs to all of us. Our government should be able to find land in the surrounding counties. We have Kajiado to the South. We also have Machakos to the South-East and Kiambu to the North-East. Those are counties that border us. It is important that we liaise with them. This can only be done through the national Government so that we find land in those counties and bury our dead. The Motion by Hon. Jalang’o is important. It is time we closed Langata Cemetery. Some time back, the County Government of Nairobi tried to close it. However, it is important that we have an alternative by the time we close it. If we do not come up with a solution, we are left with no choice but to bury our dead in Langata. With those remarks, I beg to support."
